  • The web installer is pretty simple.

    It may seem intimidating because they’re being super cautious. (Stuff like “You should avoid using a USB hub” is bordering paranoia.) But that’s not because they need to be cautious. The GrapheneOS installer is very safe. The reason they’re being so cautious is because they want to be more than 99% sure it works.

    If something goes wrong, like you use the wrong browser or fail to install the driver/package, it won’t break your phone; the install just stops and you can try again.

    The one thing that may break something is if during install the cable gets disconnected or the power goes out. That’s unlikely by itself, but even if it does happen, you phone will most likely be fine.


  • You seem to be missing my point.

    This tool would not increase censorship.

    Admins are already able to implement all censorship they want.

    Admins are already able to block left-wing opinions, right-wing opinions, child porn, normal porn.

    And that already happens.

    Lots of instances (like feddit.de) block pornographic content.

    Lots of instances (like lemmy.blahaj.zone) block right-wing content.

    It is already possible, and it is already happening.

    An AI which can detect CSAM (and potentially other content) won’t change that. It will simply make the admins’ job easier.


  • I don’t know how you get the impression that this increases censorship.

    Instance admin already manually block content. And they are already able to do that to any extend they wish to do.

    This tool would simply automate that process.

    Admins would not gain or lose any ability to block content. Identifying child porn would simply be easier.

    (Imagine an admin going to their database and doing a CTRL+F with the term “child porn”, and then going through the posts to find offending ones. But instead of CTRL+F it’s an AI.)

    (For some reason I don’t get a notification when you answer my comment. Is that a known issue? Did you block me or something?)








  • I see a lot of potential in Lapce, but sadly the extensions (which are necessary, since it has basically no ootb language support) are very poorly maintained and outdated. Last I used it the Javascript/Typescript support was simply not sufficient for active use. I am very hopeful for Lapce’s future though!

    Edit: Just checked and the TS/JS extension is still on version 2022.11.0. The code formatting still doesn’t work (for me) :(
